McComas suggests that the examina
ton, physical and academical, con-
form generally to the printed "cir-

Theatricoi.-Of "Mugg's Landing"
which will be presented in Ravens
crafts Opera House this Saturday
evening the Evansville Gnd.) Courier
says:
The play is simply a home story simply
told, and relies upon the players more than
upon its dramatic construction to make it go.
That such was the case last night is evident,
if hearty laughter and applause is any
criterion. The star, Miss Bessie Clark, as
Little Muggs," 'plain everyday go-as-you-
please Mugs" was a most charming di
erosion from the general run of female
comedy stars. She is a small, graceful little
body and sings and dances with grace that
is as pleasant as it is unusual. She invested
Little Mugs with a charm of girllsh sim
plcity that carried us back to the days when
we used to steal eggs out of the haymow in
the old red barn. Mr.. Tannehll, las Sojcr Jud-
soma man with an army record and wooden
leg, presented picture that could be easily
recognized by any veteran of our late un-
| pleasantness, that of man who could always
be found in the thickest of the fight (under
the ammunition wagon. His makeup was
| simply immmensc. The company in its
entirety is made up Of clever people and their
work is to be commended for attention to
| detail they display. The piece is filled with
| bright and catchy music, chief among which
is the trio from the BLACK Hussar," which
was demanded again and again. A more en-
| joyable performance has not been pre-
sented in Evansville for some time, and we
say don't miss it tonight.
